NBA Playoffs 2012 Discussion Thread

I can't wait for this series tonight.

I want to pick the Spurs in like six, but I see a big mismatch in favor of OKC when I watch the two teams. OKC runs a lot of high p&r and SA isn't very good at defending that, mostly because Tony Parker isn't very good at fighting through screens. I could see SA starting to force the ball out of Westy's hands though, then Ibaka would have to step up big time and knock down some jumpshots which he'll get good looks at because of the way SA defends it.

One flaw I see in your "mismatch" logic is that the Spurs were able to guard the Thunder fine in the regular season, and all those games were without Manu. Tony Parker has such an edge over Russell Westbrook when the Spurs have the ball because he's so crafty and Westbrook isn't experienced enough to be good at guarding the pick-and-roll. I also think the Thunder have no match for Tim Duncan. With that said, the key for the Spurs in this series is the play of Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard; both have to sustain the way they've played so far in this postseason for the Spurs to move on.

They defended it well in the first game, but it got worse every game.

In the third game OKC ran it 30 times and scored 28 points off of it (not including FT's).

Westy had 21 of his 36 points off the p&r in that game.

The fuck you pull those stats from?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I track them all by myself?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

But really...

The funny thing is you ACTUALLY think this is true.

I know it to be true. Prove me wrong.

I think in 2008 most Pistons fans had complete faith in Joe Dumars.

i had faith in him. i will say i was first on this board to hate that trade though. it blew up fast and ive hated dumars since.

Was Russy really just rocking a v-neck warm-up shirt? That's gay as fuck.

How much range does Diaw have? If OKC keeps downing screens their bigs should be able to get open looks (a little deeper than mid range) if the ball handler can get them the ball early.

You just saw it in that possession with Duncan that ended up in a goal tend.

kinda want San Antonio to win
but really want James Harden to go off.

hmmmm

The pic didn't work but now that I quoted this post I see that it's Wade's pink pants.

Wade's got style, semi-deep V warmup T is not stylish.

 

[Mexi]

why isn't a warm up V stylish?
it looked ok to me

 

[Mexi]

for the first time, Reggie is annoying me lol

 

[Elite]

How tight it was and how deep the V was just made it look homo

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I don't think you realize how homosexual Dwyane Wade's outfit is there.

And Manu > James Harden

 

[Pugz]

deep V's should be loose. a tight deep V is kinda homo-ish

 

[Mexi]

i see what you mean
but i dont think it was that deep of a vneck. i have to see it again i guess

the short ass baby sleeves made it look homo if anything lol
